Former vice-president, Atiku
Abubakar, has reacted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)’s
call, for debates among candidates running for political offices in 2019.
INEC chairman, Prof. Mahmood
Yakubu, stated this while delivering a speech titled, ‘The role of the media in
the Nigerian electoral process,’ at the 69th General Assembly of the
Broadcasting Organisation of Nigeria in Lagos on Wednesday.
Yakubu said the debates were a
vital part of the democratic process as they helped to guide the decision of voters.
Writing on his verified Twitter
page, Atiku said: “Kudos to @inecnigeria for recognising debates are a vital
part of the democratic process.
“Our democracy & governance
will be better enriched when voters have the opportunity to make the needed distinction
in the offerings of those who apply to govern them.”
